Coleman 400 Lumens Classic Rechargeable LED Lantern

This is probably one of the best lanterns I've ever owned. Not only does it provide more than enough light, the battery stays charged for a very long time. One of the greatest purposes, I feel, is during storms when the power goes out. Also, should I go through another hurricane and have no power for days on end, having the USB port is fantastic because I can always charge the battery in my car and not have to panic when all of the flashlights are dead and the stores have no batteries. I plan on purchasing a few more for family and friends. It is well worth the money. Thank you Coleman!

I received the Lantern and charged it immediately. There's a helpful LED, that indicates if the battery is "Charging" or "Ready". Then I let the lantern sit idle for two weeks, to see if there was any leakage from the battery.. Then I started my test, to see how long the battery would be functional on the 'low' setting. (on the 'low' setting, you can move around within a kitchen). I tested as if the lantern was used in a 'no power' situation of 2 hours on, 4 off, 3 on, etc -- for 4 consecutive days. The battery kept the same 'workable' wattage for 24½ hours - with only the first initial charge. To top off this well thought up, useful lantern, if you have a USB plug within your car, you can charge the lantern battery, there.,
